Section 3. Relationships to other projects

Project IDTitleDescription
199105700 Fabricate and Install Yakima Basin Phase II Fish Screens This project is a predecessor to the O&M function addressed in this application. It determines the number of Phase II screening facilities requiring O&M services.
198506200 Evaluation of Yakima Passage Improvements (PNNL) Fishery scientists from the Battelle, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) periodically evaluate completed screening projects. Independent hydraulic and biological evaluations provides valuable "adaptive management feedback".
199503300 Yakima Phase II Fish Facility O&M There is a shared O&M responsibility between the BOR, WDFW and BPA. Ownership is passed from BPA to BOR, O&M responsibilities are assigned by BPA to WDFW, YSS

Fundable. This proposal would continue O & M on Yakima basin screens, clearly an essential, routine component of the process.

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESU
Through proper and consistent O&M, these facilities provide protection from mortality or injury to all species and life stages of anadromous and resident salmonids associated with irrigation diversions.

Comments
The O&M is important.

Already ESA Req? no

Biop? no


Recommendation:
Rank A

Comment:

No cost-share. RPA #149 (see above). Phase 2 screens should be considered as one project.

Funding increases for ongoing projects above the standard Fiscal Year 2001 budget plus 3.4%.

As discussed above in the general issues, the general principle applied to ongoing projects has been to hold them at their Fiscal Year 2001 approved budget levels plus 3.4%. In prioritizing the available funds, local entities and managers agreed that some ongoing projects should have their budgets increased in order to meet local priorities and address ESA based needs. The following ongoing projects are recommended for funding increases above the general 3.4% increase:

Project ID: 199200900: Operate & Maintain (O&M) Yakima Basin Phase II Fish Screens

NMFS considers this project part of the environmental baseline presumed in the 2000 FCRPS Opinion, affecting the survival of broods returning as adults during the base period, and which will continue to influence survival at the same rate in the proposed project. The ISRP finds the"...proposal would continue O & M on Yakima basin screens, clearly an essential, routine component of the process."

Budget effect on base program (Project 199200900):
